The seed almalinux9 kickstart reconstructed the Cobbler contract from memory and guessed storage: it installed to sda with autopart and keyboard us. The real Cobbler server (cobbler.main.unkin.net) provisions the OptiPlex fleet from three model-specific profiles (almalinux9-dell_3050 / _3060 / _7080) that all install to NVMe with an explicit LVM layout and differ in disk selection, EFI handling and whether the VG grows. This folds that real content in, keeping one shared template driven by per-model catalog data. Changes: - Make almalinux9.ks.tmpl storage model-aware via .DistroVars.storage_mode: fixed-nvme (static nvme0n1, BIOS/MBR), auto-nvme (%pre picks the internal NVMe, UEFI-aware, --boot-drive), with vg_grow to grow the PV; generic/VM hosts keep the autopart-on-sda path. - Port the explicit LVM layout (/boot, root, swap, /home, /var/log) and the %pre NVMe picker + rootvg wipe from the real Cobbler dell templates. - Add catalog entries optiplex-3050 (fixed-nvme), optiplex-3060 (auto-nvme) and optiplex-7080 (auto-nvme + vg_grow), selected by a device's provision_template custom field set to the OptiPlex device_type slug. - Correct keyboard us -> au and add the kdump addon + kexec-tools/bind-utils to match the Cobbler profiles. - Document the per-model variants and selection in catalog/README.md.

# the Cobbler profile almalinux9-dell_3050 used: a single known NVMe (nvme0n1),

# NetBox-driven: set the device's `provision_template` custom field to this

# entry's name (the OptiPlex device_type slug "optiplex-3050"). Because the
